--Design Comments--

Turf Wars is intended to look as nice as it plays. My design ethic tends 
toward symmetry, simplicity, and utility. Thus, screens are not unbalanced or 
cluttered, gameplay flows in recognisable patterns, and tools are included 
only if there is a use for them. Being a bit of a Lode Runner purist, I've 
intentionally avoided overuse of the new gimmicks. A few bombs, jackhammers, 
transporters, and glue patches make an appearance, but aside from that, it's 
mainly just Jack, his blaster, and the Mad Monks on plain turf. Old school 
Lode Runner. 

--Gameplay Comments--

These levels are unabashedly puzzles. Meaning

a) they require specific strategies
b) they have specific solutions
c) they can be completed without the use of brute force
d) they are primarily linear in nature

All levels have been extensively play-tested.

--Distribution Comments--

Turf Wars is of course freeware. I had a ball making these levels and I'd like 
as many people as possible to have a ball playing them. Please distribute 
these files (turfwar1.pzl and turfwar1.txt, or together as turfwar1.zip) 
widely and freely, so long as you keep them intact, unmodified, and 
unseparated.

Please drop any comments, questions, or hint requests to pilldust@aol.com. 
I'd love to hear what you think. If anyone would like to see a Turf Wars 
Volume 2, please let me know and I'll see what I can cook up.

Enjoy!

Best wishes,
